Bungie Proves 80% Of Their Own Fans Are Idiots

Well if you didn’t know, Bungie had this on their home page for the past few days:Oh! A timer with a count down to something at exactly 7:07 AM PDT on July 16th! Many people thought that this was the beginning of a new chapter for Bungie.  With new documents showing the possible release of a new game called “Halo: Blue”, speculators said that the ending of the timer would spark an announcement of the “skeptical” game from Bungie. Well, that something turned out to be a lovely letter from Harold Ryan, president of Bungie LLC, coming 12 hours from the countdown finale. Just check out Bungie.net.

“For the last several months, we’ve been building toward a reveal of something exciting that Bungie is working on,” said Bungie’s Harold Ryan in a statement posted to the developer’s site. “We were looking forward to sharing that with our fan community during the week of E3. However, those plans were just changed by our publisher. We realize that many of our fans are disappointed by this turn of events; members of the Bungie team share that disappointment. When the right time comes, we look forward to sharing this exciting announcement with you. Until then, we appreciate your continued support and patience.”    

I thought something might just happen at 7 PM, so I stuck around to find the letter popping up… what a let down by NOT Bungie, but the PUBLISHER of Bungie! Unfortunately, fans didn’t look at it that way:God, I don’t think I have ever seen a fan base act so juvenile. Let’s hope for the best! Maybe it’s a fluke, or not. A “civilized” Bungie user just posted this:

Let’s look at the last Bungie update: Major changes to the Halo 3 Online experience. Sweet Announcements. Poignant Clarifications. Certain-point-of-view Truths. Things you will love. Things you will argue about. Things you will make angry videos about… KEEP IT CLEAN. PLEASE REMAIN CALM. THERE WILL BE DELAYS…  

Exactly. This was all planed, days ago…
